I'd like to put a KickEez or Decelerator on my Rem 700 VS that has an H-S Precision stock. Problem is that the Remington hard rubber one on it now is glued on. Not sure how to proceed. Looks like it'd have to be very carefully cut off.

The next question would then be do I need to then glue a new one on rather than screw it on? The stock is awfully light hollow sounding in the butt.

Dear Shooter:
Old WILDAKLASKA has been there! He's absolutely on target.
I would cut most of it off with a fine hacksaw and then grind it slowly off on a disk sander. Then I'd epoxy a wood filler in the hole where it sounds hollow and then grind the whole mess straight and screw your pad on - when grinding don't get too close to stock - put masking tape several layers thick so you don't hit stock - IT IS A JOB!!!!!
I'll finally say it, "GOOD LUCK"!
